Yep, definitely far too far on the show-off side of things for my liking. They're trying way too hard to impress IMO, and actually, some really rather ordinary suits now have this feature just to make it look as if they are better.
The Italians really seem to go for this, though.....:( But...
Great photo, and interesting combo overall - are those shoe laces actually red?
And just how high are those lapel notches on your jacket?????:eek:
Welcome, and I look forward to many more pics of combos as stimulating as this one.....
I would strongly second this opinion..... :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

:eusa_clap:eusa_clap Nice looking suit, Nick - very classic. And yes, someone was a bit over zealous with narrowing the trousers, weren't they? Hope they go back wider without any problems.....

3 piece SB suit, Blue (with thin red pinstripes and wider grey chalk stripes through it).
Lovely condition, no marks, holes or wear. No moths! No labels, but traditional British made (ie beautifully put together!), medium weight all wool material. All buttons original and intact, as are...
Just covering my costs for something that didn't work out for me (bought as an experiment!). No point in making an unnecessary profit out of fellow Loungers.....

2 piece reddish-brown DB suit, Glen Plaid, dated 1949. Quilted lining on chest area.
Immaculate condition, no marks, tears or moth holes anywhere. Medium weight material, nicely put together - all patterning in the material matches up on pocket flaps etc.
Jacket: 40" Chest, outer...
